French 19th Century Medieval Château Pewter and Wood Birdcage with Turrets
-
Description
A large 19th century pewter and wood decorative birdcage shaped as a French medieval château. This exquisite French château birdcage is a definite must in terms of decorative accents. While the facade, with its perfect regularity, could evoke a 17th century François Mansart inspiration, it is flanked with medieval turrets, whose role, in architecture, was to provide protection to the inhabitants. The slanted pewter roofs, typical of French architecture, give a striking punctuation to the ensemble. With its great proportions and charming silhouette, this French château birdcage from the 19th century will be a great focal point in any room, perhaps placed atop a chest-of-drawers, console table or buffet.
